Julius Meinl Decaf - ground 250g

This blend is hardly different form "real" coffee. Gently decaffeinated and finely roasted, it unfolds a well balanced flavor, soft and recalling cereals. Mostly containing premium Arabica beans from Brazil and Central America, together with a touch of Robusta beans, it produces a very velvety crema.

Roast: medium-light Crema: light and lasting Aroma: fruity and stimulating Flavor: slightly acidic, full body

The process or "solvent" used to decaffeinate our raw material (unroasted green coffee) is called "supercritical CO2 solution." Supercritical CO2 (carbon dioxide, scCO2) is characterized by good dissolving and transport properties, which can be modified by varying pressure and temperature in the supercritical state. To achieve this, the critical point, which is 74 bar and 31°C, must be exceeded. Carbon dioxide, a gas under "normal conditions," is in a state between gaseous and liquid due to the high pressure.

It has the flow properties of a gas but the solubility properties of a liquid.

After "washing," the gas is "separated," essentially degassed, expanded, and released its bound substances so that it can be reused.

There are no residues because CO2 is naturally present in the roasted coffee as a result of the roasting reaction.
